Definitions
- the present invention relates to an injection needle assembly and a drug injection device that reduce the remaining amount of drug.
- a drug injection device such as a syringe may suck a drug from a vial.
- the vial is a drug storage container that can store the drug in a liquid or lyophilized state for a long period of time.
- the opening of the vial is usually sealed with a rubber stopper having a thickness of about 3 to 5 mm. Since this rubber stopper prevents the drug from leaking even if the needle tube is punctured a plurality of times, most of the vaccines frequently inoculated by a group are sucked from the vial.
- a needle hub to which a needle tube for suction of about 22 gauge is attached is connected to the syringe.
- a needle tube for suction is inserted into the vial and the drug solution is sucked into the syringe.
- the hub to which the needle tube for suction is attached is removed from the syringe, and the hub to which the needle tube for injection is attached is attached to the syringe.
- the medicine injection device is in a state where the medicine can be injected.
- the drug is injected (administered) into the living body by the drug injection device, the drug remains in the needle tube, the hub, and the tip of the syringe.
- the skin is composed of three parts: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.
- the epidermis is a layer of about 50 to 200 ⁇ m from the skin surface, and the dermis is a layer of about 1.5 to 3.5 mm continuing from the epidermis.
- Influenza vaccines are generally administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, and are therefore administered in the lower layer of the skin or deeper.
- the upper skin layer refers to the epidermis and dermis of the skin.
- the dose of the vaccine to the upper skin layer is about 50 to 300 ⁇ L, preferably about 100 ⁇ L. Therefore, if the amount of the remaining drug is large, the advantage of reducing the amount of antigen obtained by administering the vaccine to the upper layer of the skin becomes small.
- Patent Document 1 An insertion member and a stop member are formed on the needle base of the injection needle described in Patent Document 1.
- the insertion member is made of a material such as elastic synthetic rubber or synthetic resin.
- the insertion member connects the injection needle to the injection cylinder and fills the dead volume of the attachment port (tip) of the injection needle formed at the tip of the injection cylinder. It is like that.
- the stop member is fitted to the tip of the syringe barrel.
- Patent Document 2 As another technique for reducing the remaining amount of the drug, there is a technique described in Patent Document 2.
- the syringe described in Patent Document 2 is configured such that an injection needle and an outer cylinder having a cylinder tip into which the injection needle is inserted can be separated.
- the diameter of the cylinder tip of the outer cylinder increases as the opening thereof goes to the tip side. Then, the injection needle inserted into the tube tip is fitted and brought into contact with the smallest diameter portion of the tube tip.
- the injection needle is used when the hub is fitted to the outer cylinder. Can be easily inserted into the tube tip.
- the syringe described in Patent Document 2 it is necessary to insert the needle tube to a predetermined length into the cylinder tip of the outer cylinder and to fit the smallest diameter part of the cylinder tip. For this reason, the syringe described in Patent Document 2 has a problem that the proximal end (terminal end) of the needle tube must be precisely positioned with respect to the hub portion that is fitted to the outer cylinder.
- the syringe barrel and the syringe needle are taper-fitted, there is a situation that a dead volume is generated between the tip end portion of the syringe barrel and the needle tube.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the residual amount of a drug with a structure that does not require precise adjustment of the position of the proximal end of the needle tube with respect to the needle hub.
- the injection needle assembly of the present invention includes a needle tube having a needle tip that is punctured into the skin, a needle hub, and an elastic member.
- the needle hub has a first member that holds the needle tube and a second member into which the discharge portion of the syringe is inserted.
- the elastic member has an insertion hole that is disposed inside the second member, is in liquid-tight contact with the inner surface of the second member, and allows the needle tube to pass therethrough.
- the drug injection device of the present invention includes a syringe having a discharge part, a needle tube having a needle tip punctured on the skin, a needle hub, and an elastic member.
- the needle hub has a first member that holds the needle tube and a second member into which the discharge portion of the syringe is inserted.
- the elastic member is disposed inside the second member and is in liquid-tight contact with the inner surface of the second member. This elastic member has an insertion hole through which the needle tube is inserted.
- the needle tube is inserted through the elastic member arranged inside the second member, and the discharge part of the syringe is inserted into the second member.
- the discharge part of the syringe and the needle tube can be communicated without precisely positioning the proximal end of the needle tube with respect to the needle hub.
- the dead volume in the needle hub can be reduced by reducing or eliminating the distance between the distal end of the discharge portion of the syringe and the elastic member, and the remaining amount of the medicine can be reduced.
- the remaining amount of drug can be reduced with a structure that does not require precise adjustment of the position of the needle tube with respect to the needle hub.
- FIG. 5A is a side view of a state where a needle tube is held by the first member according to the first embodiment of the drug injection device of the present invention

- the needle projecting surface 16 a is formed as a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the needle tube 5.
- This needle protrusion surface 16a defines the depth at which the needle tube 5 is punctured by contacting the surface of the skin when the needle tube 5 is punctured into the upper layer portion of the skin. That is, the depth at which the needle tube 5 is punctured into the upper skin layer is determined by the length of the needle tube 5 protruding from the needle protruding surface 16a (hereinafter referred to as “projection length L”).
- the thickness of the upper skin portion corresponds to the depth from the skin surface to the dermis layer, and is generally in the range of 0.5 to 3.0 mm. Therefore, the protruding length L of the needle tube 5 can be set in the range of 0.5 to 3.0 mm.
- the vaccine is generally administered to the upper arm, but in the case of administration to the upper skin part, the shoulder peripheral part where the skin is thick, particularly the deltoid part is preferable. Therefore, the thickness of the upper layer of the deltoid muscle was measured for 19 children and 31 adults. This measurement was performed by imaging the upper layer of the skin with high ultrasonic reflectivity using an ultrasonic measurement device (NP60R-UBM, high-resolution echo for small animals, Nepagene).
